In the global landscape the memoirist meticulously documents personal adventures, social structures and political history throughout her daring and exciting expeditions.

In addition to powerful story telling infused with lyrical prose the book is also spiritual and reveals a healing mindset as the autobiographer deals with the battle of self esteem, national identity, and the idea of beauty for women in an image conscious world. Is Amanda transformed by travel?
